The five-star forward out of Federal Way high school announced on social media late Tuesday night that he's committing to the University of Washington, a major recruiting win for coach Mike Hopkins and the Huskies.

The 6-foot-10 McDaniels, a McDonald's All American and Jordan Brand All American, was one of the nation's top remaining uncommitted recruits. In addition to UW, he had been considering the likes of Kentucky, San Diego State, Texas and UCLA. The Huskies and Kentucky were reportedly his top two schools.

By choosing Washington, McDaniels gives the hometown Huskies a potentially lethal inside-outside duo for next season. UW also received a commitment from five-star center Isaiah Stewart back in January.

So Washington now has two consensus top-10 recruits, and potential 2020 NBA lottery picks, in the fold for the upcoming season. ESPN ranked McDaniels No. 7 in their final rankings of the 2019 class, while both Rivals and 247sports has him as the eight best player in the senior class.

The addition of McDaniels raises expectations for a Washington squad that will be much younger in 2019-20. Huskies are coming off a regular-season Pac-12 title and an NCAA tournament run (for the first time in eight years) last season, but are also losing a slew of contributors to graduation: Matisse Thybulle, David Crisp, Noah Dickerson and Dominic Green. Sophomore standout Jaylen Nowell, the reigning Pac-12 Player of the Year, also entered the NBA draft.

McDaniels averaged 23.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.1 steals as a senior for Federal Way. Due to his versatility, size and lanky frame, he's often been compared to Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant.

McDaniels joins a UW recruiting class that includes four-star guard RaeQuan Battle and three-star guard Marcus Tsohonis – both of whom were his teammates with Seattle Rotary on the AAU circuit.
